How do I publish my book
Publishing a book needs a planned approach and also is dependent on the nature of your book, whether or not it is a fiction, non-fiction or any other book.
Publishing a book, which has poetic content, isn’t particularly easy though. Before publishing a book, you need to approach an agent.
Then you have to that the book suggestion is accepted or on the verge of getting accepted by the agent. But before approaching an agent or a publishing how, you’ve got to prepare a powerful offer and then send it to the concern agent.
The offer must have a summary, something about the target readers, comparison of your book with the others present in the market. Next thing to add in the proposal is to scribble about yourself as an author, more like your autobiography.
Then the main thing that your suggestion document must content is a sampling of your suggested work.
If the agent doesn’t reply via this written offer, then there isn’t any need to worry because some agents also accept such offers through an email or phone.
When selecting an agent for book publishing, you should make a selection from amongst the ones who are successful and has a name in this field. After this a contract would be send by the agent and here you have to see that the representation isn’t for over one year and without any charges too.
How can I publish my book? You can publish your book by yourself but it isn’t easy though. Firstly, you have to get a rep, reviews, make public appearances, like thru the radio, local TV shows for example. Then you can also hire a publishing company which is on demand or write a book by yourself with software available in the internet. So, these are a selection of the ways that you can go about publishing a book.

This is how you do it. Go to a book that is the same genera as the one you want published and look for the address on the page where it says the copy write.
Then write a query letter saying your name, your inspiration for the book, and what it is about. Also enclose the first few pages of your manuscript, and a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) put it all in an envelope and send to publishers. DO NOT SEND TO JUST ONE! If the publisher likes it they will send a letter in your SASE, requesting your whole manuscript. It usually is not worth it to pay for a company to publish your novel.
The first of the Ten Commandments for Writers is “Sit your butt in a chair.” That’s how you get started.
With regard to an e-book, there are dozens of good websites and many, many books written about e-books: writing them, marketing them, pricing them, etc. It’s all about creating a platform and selling yourself as the expert.
You’ve got a lot of research to do.
Your publisher will take care of all of your ISBN details./

When you will have completely finished your manuscript (editing and all), it’s going to take about 4 months to finish your book when you self-publish. Aside from the shorter length of time it would take to finish your book, self-publishing is a smarter option for your baby book since it is targeted to a specific niche market.

what you need to do is write your poems on paper then simply post them to your home address. do not open them when they arrive. they will have a post date mark on them that proves that you wrote them at that time. as to publishing them submit submit submit, local papers, magazines, libraries. avoid http://www.poetry.com they are a fraud, also known as the poetry society. a good website is http://www.poetry.com for free submission and critique. lots of advice there and friends. most importantly never ever pay anyone for your work. as you are still at school ask your english teacher to help you.
One thing you can do is hit a book store (brick and mortar or online) and get your hands on these books:
2010 Writer’s Market
2010 Literary Agents
Baby Name books (after all, you are going to be naming your characters) and don’t just use American baby name books if you are thinking of using characters that are not white Americans.
Strunk & White: The Elements of Style
James D. Lester: A Writer’s Handbook. Style and Grammar
A thesaurus and a dictionary. Yes, you may have this in your word processing software but keep a hard copy of each on the desk as well because none of my wp software has ever had every word. And, you may find your muse knocking on your brain with a scene (chapter or six) and no access to the keyboard for what ever reason.
All of the above books should be available at any book store (Half Price, mom and pop used books, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and so forth)
Tips for writing (book, article, short story or novella).
01. Have something to say. You have to give the muse something to work with here.
02. Another “tip” that other authors often toss out is to “write what you know”. I’ve sort of disagreed with this one. I’d add “if you don’t know about it, pick someone else’s brains” (yes, it is called research).
03. Know something about the genre you will be working in. If, for example, you are wanting to be a romance writer you are really going to need that writer’s guide. A lot of the romance writer publishers have a “bible” or writer’s guidebook that you would need to follow to write for them.
04. Don’t let the “power” go to your head. In other words, yes you are the author and creator of this particular universe. However, this does not mean “any thing goes”. It is one thing to vent your frustrations against the idiots that you face in your day by destroying them on paper (feels great and no one gets hurt, but those stories are best consigned to the fire or the delete button after you are done… voice of experience”).
05. Develop a thick skin. I know of no author who was published by the very first publishing house they went to. TRY not to take it personally (easier said than done!). Also understand that it is going to hurt. So, if you need to, have your cry/hissy/conniption or temper fit and then take a deep breath cleansing breath and get back to it. JK Rowling had so many rejection letters before someone realized that her Harry Potter book was worth publishing.
06. The spell and grammar checker in your word processing software is not going to catch those mistakes that are spelled correctly — especially if you have serious homophone problems (that is words that sound alike but are not spelled alike) or you simply use the wrong word. And some of the grammar advice can make you roll your eyes when you are writing fiction. Understand that you are going to be seeing quite a few of those red underlined words in your document.
07. Yellow legal pads (or a 5 subject spiral notebook) and cheap disposable ink pens are your new BFFs. (see the comment with the thesaurus and dictionary note above)
08. If you are still in school and they have it, take a creative writing class
09. Find a writers group in your area and join. One thing this does is helps you improve your writing and gives you a pool of “beta readers” to look over your manuscript with fresh eyes.
You’re looking for a ghostwriter. There are certain companies that provide ghostwriters, but they charge a lot of money as a book is a lot of work.
If a publisher makes you pay then it’s a scam. Find the free publishers that don’t make you pay. Also good luck on your book, hope all goes well for you!
